Agad naman tumahimik ang paligid habang ang dalawang estudyante naman ay maangas na binitawan ang isa't-isa.
"Good. Now kayong dalawa, come here. While the rest of you, continue" I said in a loud voice.
Masama pa din ang tingin ng dalawa sa isa't-isa kaya agad kong pinalakpak ang kamay upang makuha ang kanilang atensyon.
"The 2 of you violated one of my rules" umpisa ko.
"What rules?" maangas na sambit ng estudyanteng may blonde ang buhok. I looked at him and search for his name.
"Well Mr. Labroso, first of all change your hair color. That's too bright and unclean" utas ko sabay taas ng kilay. "And second, don't give me an attitude. Or else, I'll make sure that you can't graduate. Are we clear?"
"Now as I was saying, you two violated one of my rules. The Rule #3, 'no fighting within my sight' " pagpapatuloy ko.
"What the hell? What rules are you talking about?! We didn't even know we have that here, tss" sambit muli ng estudyanteng si Kaizer.
"Atleast you know now, and what did I tell you? Are you challenging me Mr. Labroso?" blangko ko ng utas habang nakatingin sa kanya.
Umiwas agad ito ng tingin at nanahimik.
"Think before you act. I told you, the consequence of your action will always reflect to each one of you."
"But since only the two of you broke one of my rules, get yourself ready" I continued in a firm tone.
Napataas na lamang ang isa kong kilay ng maangas na tumalikod si De Ruiz at pinulot ang jacket nyang nalaglag sa damuhan.
Ngunit bago pa sya makaalis, mahigpit kong hinawakan ang kaliwa nyang braso upang pigilan ito.
"Don't do something you'll regret" I said.
He blankly stare at me before he touch my hand to remove it from his arm. But he didn't succeed, and in a flash, he saw himself looking at me in disbelief while he's laying on the floor.
Nakita rin 'yon ng mga estudyante at agad-agad na nilabas ang kanilang mga phone. Pero bago pa nila makuhanan ang pangyayaring 'yon, binigyan ko sila ng masamang tingin at binalaan.
"Do that and you will all clean this area for whole night"
Binalik ko ang atensyon kay De Ruiz.
"I told you" at saka ito tinulungang tumayo muli.
"You two, go to the detention. Wait for me there" utas ko sa dalawang binata. Bago tumingin sa ibang estudyante.
"And kayo, don't make a trouble or else" banta ko sa kanila. Agad akong pumalakpak ng malakas at sumigaw ng "Continue!"
"What do you think you're doing?!" agad akong napalingon sa nagsalita at napangisi ako.
Ang bilis ng tsismis.
"Teaching them a lesson, what do you think?" utas ko habang nakangisi pa din.
"Are you out of your mind? Hindi mo ba alam na anak mayayaman ang mga batang yan! How dare you?! You ruining the reputation of this school!" galit na sigaw nito sa akin.
Napangiwi na lamang ako.
Oh, Victory.
"Excuse me, first of all, I will not ruin the reputation of this school because it's already ruin alright. And second, I already have research about the background of each of my students, and I know also for a fact that they are the 'jinx' of their families" I said in a harsh tone.
Why not, it's the truth.
"And last, don't shout. Tumatalsik ang laway mo" sabay irap ko.
"See Aunty, The audacity!" agad akong napatingin sa bibwit na sumingit sa usapan. Walang iba kung hindi ang spoiled brat nyang pamangkin.
"Do you even know who are you talking to?!" pagpapatuloy nito.
Ah, magkamag-anak nga sila.
"No. How about you? Do you know you're talking to an adult and most importantly, a teacher? Show your manners little girl" ngisi kong sambit dito.
"I'm not a little girl you bitch!" Napairap na lamang ako.
"What's happening here?" And here comes the hero.
Rich Mendoza a.k.a The treasurer.
Mas lalong lumaki ang ngisi ko ng dumating ito.
